ACU President discusses ways to keep your information safe

JACKSON, Tenn. — Just last month, customer data including sensitive information from 70-million accounts, was leaked online due to a data breach dating back to 2021.

With an ever-increasing risk and presence of cyber-attacks, protecting consumers’ personal and financial data is more important than ever.

Fortunately, credit unions are helping to protect Americans’ financial data.

Jim Nussle, President and CEO of America’s Credit Unions, tells us more.

“Your credit union, that I represent, we’re out there to try and protect the data of our members. That’s something that we do as part of our routine but you can help us with that by being a human firewall and really, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you live, you could be a victim of credit card fraud,” said Nussle.

Nussle encourages credit card users to keep information private, constantly refresh passwords, and to look through purchases at the end of each month to make sure no one is fraudulently using your cards.
